Hello....I have never been a candidate for surgery, so can't speak to that.But wanted to bring to your attention a couple posts that may be helpful to you.One is...Post op Must Haves...and ...Recovery the Most Important Phase.You can find by using search, upper right on page.

There is also a ..Surgery Buddies....for each month. That kind of encouragement may be helpful, also.
